Adventures in Nerd-land! Wizard wand making (pic heavy)

[Dag]

My friends held a Harry Potter themed social gathering last night and to prepare I made my own wizard's wand!  It was a total hit at the party and I received many compliments throughout the night.  Even managed to score some points for my team by simply showing up with a handmade wand, haha!

Started out as a fallen Birch branch.  Didn't really have any idea on how I wanted to make it at first, I kinda just let the wand take shape as I went along.  Just used a Swiss army knife and round file and good ol' Elmer's school glue for the finish    Ended up being 15.25" long and if I had my choice I'd give it a dragon heartstring core 

The last pic is just some more stick I picked up today. I think I just create a little side hobby for myself!

I made my boy one out of some leopardwood for Christmas.

It would be more powerful if you used osage

Unfortunately Washington is bone dry in the Osage department Or else I'd be making a lot more useful things than wands out of it!
